Must this be a choice between racial justice OR justice to end sexual violence? Must we choose between standing up for the rights of people of color OR for women who have the courage to seek support for rape? This is not the kind of liberation i seek--where racism is held above sexism--where oppressed communities are pit against one another for scraps of human rights. True, men of color are imprisoned at alarming rates. True, women endure the threat and oppression of sexual and gendered violence every day. We can fight for reformation of the prison system AND for the rights of a victim of sexual violence. Lets get it together people--and believe in The Dream in liberation for all.
